Karen's Site of Happy Isolationism

Welcome graphic

Hey out there to everyone in Internetland. Life has been extraordinarily cruel to me lately, so now I've decided to make my new web site a sanctuary of blessed isolationism. My name is Karen, and I am a 40-year-old college student who is on a quest. A quest of rediscovering myself, and how to make my life a positive force that will cause great self-improvement over time. Patience and fortitude are currently called for. The past has taught me to be extremely cautious about people...I could still possibly find a soulmate angel sent straight down from God himself...but I will not go looking for that person any longer. I realize such a happening would be a miracle...if it appears, I will welcome it with open arms! So many others before this point have disguised themselves as decent human beings, worthy of love...only to later be seen as the true hellish monsters they are. I refuse to let those selfish individuals I had previously wasted time with take away either my love of life or my ability to be happy. So, please come in, and welcome! Hopefully this site will make your your day a little less dreary. One can only hope...while you are here, please enjoy the feeling of "peace in aloneness" that exists here in my little "Webcave." Have some tea, put your feet up. If you care for a bit of in-depth conversation, you may e-mail me at RosAngel247@verizon.net Before you do so, be aware that I will only be interested in pleasant discussion. However, please also take note that I wish to keep things clean-minded and friendly. Let me know if life has dealt you a bad poker hand (or a series of them, like myself). I'd be only too glad to help...

For now, I am going to post positive daily thoughts on this site, Until I can add more material. Today's positive thought is:
 
Exercise and weight training is a great way to make yourself feel better, if you are currently grieving or have been dumped by a significant other. Do it to improve yourself for YOU...don't do it for anybody else. See the workouts as your own personal funtime. Do some aerobic exercise everyday, if you can. Don't overdo it...listen to your body. When it feels like you have had enough, then it is enough. If that is the case, slow down your pace, or take a rest. Drink enough water, so that you feel hydrated but not bloated. Try to eat foods that are more nutritional to your body. Before you know it, you will look AND feel better. You will be stronger physically AND emotionally.
You have one life...take the best care of it that you possibly can!
Lastly: Don't EVER let anybody abuse you, physically or emotionally. You are worth so much more than that!
